When an American cardinal issued a statement about the Iran War, it didn't ring true.  It wasn't wrong, but he seemed to lack moral credibility.  Father McTeigue takes a closer look. Watch on YouTube: A Cardinal's Conscience

America's founders crafted a bold and countercultural vision of religious freedom. In this conversation, NAE President Walter Kim and religious freedom expert Tim Schultz explore why those ideas were so revolutionary then — and what they demand of us now as we approach the  250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Tim Schultz has helped shape more than 20 state religious freedom laws and is a trusted bipartisan advisor in Washington, D.C. He offers practical guidance for strengthening civic virtue, promoting healthy pluralism, and safeguarding the future of religious freedom in America. You'll also hear Walter and Tim discuss: How Christians throughout history have defended freedom for others; How Scripture — from Eden to the prodigal son — forms a vision of non–coercive faith; Why parental rights, gender policy debates and civic virtue are reshaping the religious freedom landscape; and What ordinary believers can do to strengthen religious freedom and civic life. This conversation encourages believers to step into this moment with humility, courage and neighbor–love— championing a religious freedom that reflects the heart of God. Subscribe today wherever you listen to podcasts. Do you like the podcast?Give us a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts and leave us a review.

To understand the significance of the sweeping military purges in China and how Beijing is reacting to America's war with Iran, I'm sitting down with eminent China scholar Robert Suettinger, a former CIA and State Department intelligence analyst, a senior advisor at The Stimson Center, and author of “The Conscience of the Party: Hu Yaobang, China's Communist Reformer.”“There's no question of the fact that Xi Jinping is now less of a dominant leader than he was six or eight months ago,” Suettinger says.Earlier this year, Xi purged two top generals from the CCP's military brass, on the heels of earlier purges last year. Now, only two of the originally seven members of the Central Military Commission remain. One of them is Xi himself; the other one, General Zhang Shengmin, is a political commander and has, like Xi, no combat experience.After the January purges, Xi issued an order to the military demanding that everyone acknowledge him as the head of the military commission. “The silence from all those military commands has been deafening and has been noticed by everybody,” Suettinger says.In the Chinese Communist Party itself, Xi is also facing trouble.The CCP is not a monolithic party, he told me, but a complex entity with many competing factions: “There's a Shanghai group, there's a Shandong group, there's a Shaanxi group, and they all don't like each other,” Suettinger says.Suettinger believes that Xi's many purges have unified opposition against him not only in the military but also within the Communist Party. “Xi is hated by almost everybody in China,” he said.Another reason the cracks in the system, as he put it, are beginning to be more evident, is that the Chinese economy hasn't been doing well in many years: “The Chinese people are very unhappy that their wealth opportunities are disappearing. Graduates coming out of colleges are not able to find good jobs. People who have good jobs are losing them. People who are operating in the gig economy are losing their jobs. The farmers don't have anything to do when they go back home.”People outside of China don't usually know how poor vast numbers of Chinese citizens still are, Suettinger told me. China's Premier Li Keqiang himself stated in May 2020 during a press conference that 600 million people live below the poverty line and don't even earn enough to rent a room in mid-sized Chinese cities.Where is China's totalitarian system headed? The system, Suettinger argued, is way more fragile than it looks. “It is brittle, and when it breaks, it tends to break hard, and it tends to melt in ways that are not predictable,” he said.Notably, the CCP has not come out to meaningfully support its longtime ally, Iran. The CCP has long utilized Iran to distract America and keep its focus on the Middle East, Suettinger says, but now, to Beijing's chagrin, America is effectively neutralizing this longtime CCP proxy.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

When God cuts into a guilty conscience, He is not aiming to destroy us but to lead us to genuine repentance and restored fellowship.

Intro: Theme/Topic (What's the problem, the question, etc.) In the 1500s, a preacher named Hugh Latimer was summoned to preach before King Henry VIII . The reason… Latimer had recently delivered a sermon that deeply offended the king. So, the king commanded him to appear again the following Sunday to…

There is a time for peace and a time for war, according to God's Word in Ecclesiastes. With American forces engaged in combat operations in Iran and many in our communities and congregations divided over the conflict, the question is unavoidable: Can war ever be just before God? Does He sanction the sword or merely tolerate it? And what about the Christian who puts on a uniform and picks up a rifle? Drawing on Romans 13, Augsburg Confession Article XVI, and Luther's treatise "Whether Soldiers Too Can Be Saved," we explore the just war tradition through the lens of the two realms, vocation, and the conscience of the baptized believer. We also ask the harder questions: What restrains us from bloodlust when our cause is right? How do we care for the veteran whose memories still trouble him decades later? And where does the cross fit when the sword has done its terrible, necessary work?  The Rev. Dr. Joel Biermann, Waldemar A. and June Schuette Professor of Systematic Theology at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to discuss “Just War.”  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Guest Dr. Ward McClellan and first-time co-host Dr. John G. Pierce join host Dr. Mike Chupp for Part 2 of a conversation about infertility and in vitro fertilization. As a reproductive endocrinologist, OB-GYN, and follower of Christ, Dr. McClellan brings both clinical expertise and biblical conviction to this topic. Dr. Pierce, CMDA's Vice President of Missions and Medical Education and Chair of Women's Health at LUCOM, is board-trained in both Internal Medicine and Obstetrics and Gynecology, bringing decades of clinical and academic experience to the discussion. Together with Dr. Chupp, they explore how Christian healthcare professionals can navigate the ethical complexities of IVF, uphold the dignity of every human life, and care well for couples facing infertility while remaining faithful to Christ in a rapidly evolving field of medicine.

Episode Summary In Part 4 of That They May Have Life, we continue our morality series by moving through the Fourth Commandment's reach into civil society and then turning to the Fifth Commandment: “You shall not kill.” We begin with Jesus' teaching from the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5), where the Lord deepens the commandment beyond the external act of murder to the interior roots of anger, contempt, and vengeance. From there we explore why every human life is sacred, what the Church teaches about abortion, euthanasia, suicide, and scandal, and how Catholics are called to protect life with both truth and mercy. We also address legitimate defense, the responsibilities of civil authority, the Christian duty toward the common good, and the Church's role in making moral judgments when fundamental human rights or the salvation of souls is at stake. The session concludes by previewing the next series on the sacraments. Key Scripture Matthew 5:21–48 (anger, purity of heart, truthfulness, mercy, love of enemies) Luke 10:27 (love of God and neighbor) Matthew 22:37–40 (the greatest commandments) Mark 1:15 (repent and believe in the Gospel) Matthew 10:37 (loving Christ above family ties) Matthew 22:21 (render to Caesar…) Acts 5:29 (we must obey God rather than men) Topics Covered Recap: beatitude, repentance, law and grace, the Decalogue The Fourth Commandment and the “domestic church” Civil society, authority, and conscientious objection Witness of Blessed Franz Jägerstätter and A Hidden Life The Fifth Commandment: why human life is sacred Abortion: truth, mercy, and the Church's positive duty to support mothers and families Euthanasia vs. allowing natural death (ordinary vs. extraordinary means) Suicide: the objective evil of the act, diminished culpability, and Christian hope Scandal, gossip/slander, bodily integrity, organ donation, and peace Legitimate defense, punishment, just war principles, and the death penalty as a prudential judgment Practical Takeaways Ask: Where do anger, contempt, or vengeance take root in my heart? Protect life with both conviction and compassion—especially by helping people in crisis Pray for leaders and seek the common good without losing charity Remember: the Lord's call is not perfectionism, but conversion toward love Next Episode Next week we begin a new series on the sacraments, starting with Baptism and Confirmation.

Pendant longtemps on l'a appelée l'Aventurière fauchée. Elle a commencé à voyager quand elle avait 19 ans, d'abord la Norvège, ensuite la traversée de la Russie avec le Transsibérien, puis la découverte de la Mongolie, avant de finalement se lancer dans son projet de tour du monde sans argent. Sarah Gysler passe son temps à s'enfuir, à errer, pour revenir souvent au même point. Avec ses mots aussi justes qu'humoristiques, elle raconte dans son nouveau livre « Emmenez-moi » toutes les étapes du deuil : celui de son père. Ce livre, c'est l'histoire d'une fille qui se demande ce qu'elle fait là. C'est l'histoire d'un bateau, Dune, une vieille bique à coque rouge, et de ses mises à l'eau rocambolesques. C'est l'histoire d'un deuil qui n'en finit pas, des années qui passent, des amis qui restent, des films en noir et blanc, un chat aveugle qui perd ses dents.Sans fard, Sarah raconte sa douleur et ses doutes, ses joies et son envie de chanter quand même, très fort et très faux, en attendant qu'on l'emmène n'importe où ailleurs, pourvu qu'il y ait du soleil et de la glace stracciatella.Avec Sarah dans cet épisode, on parle de deuil, de ce que c'est de grandir, et de joie, finalement.J'espère que cette écoute t'invitera à accepter le deuil dans la joie, quel qu'il soit.Belle écoute ! ☀️ ---Pour retrouver Telecoop, c'est ici !

Stéphane Ricoul nous entraîne cette semaine sur un terrain rarement exploré dans le débat technologique. À partir d'une hypothèse venue de l'Université d'Uppsala, il pose une question vertigineuse : et si la conscience n'était pas produite par le cerveau, mais constituait plutôt le fondement même de la réalité ? Un billet dense, qui invite à prendre un pas de recul face à la course technologique actuelle.

Rules of Engagement: A Journey Through 1 CorinthiansWhat does it look like to be the church in a world that doesn't always understand—or welcome—what we're about? That's the question the Apostle Paul tackled head-on in his letter to the church in Corinth, and it's the question we're wrestling with together this series.Paul planted a church in one of the most diverse, culturally complex cities in the ancient world. And almost immediately, things got messy. Division. Pride. Tolerance of things that shouldn't be tolerated. Silence where there should have been honesty. The Corinthian church was full of people who had the Spirit of God and the mind of Christ—and were still acting like the world around them.Sound familiar?Week by week, chapter by chapter, we'll walk through Paul's letter and discover that we are God's temple, keepers of an extraordinary mystery, and called to live like it. Rules of Engagement // Chapter 8A Study in 1 CorinthiansMarch 1, 2026Brian Berger // Executive Pastor of Life Discipleship

Do we think of our conscience only as a feeling of guilt when our behavior or attitudes seem somehow out of line with our inner sense of moral right and wrong? What if we imagine the conscience as something much deeper and more powerful? An active process that allows access to our natural finer values — sometimes called the ‘better angels of our nature'? An international gathering of Portals friends join Aviv Shahar in this conversation to explore the nature and function of conscience. As we discover, unraveling the mystery and meaning of the conscience also takes us deeper into the nature of the soul and its mission to guide and uplift our earthly journey. (This conversation is part two of a special event that also focused on the “Portals Into the Soul” series; part one is included below.) In Portals Into The Soul – Chapter 2, conscience is described as a self-arising moral presence — part of the soul's awakened power and purpose. We're invited to hear, sense and feel the multiple dimensions of the conscience, rather than only consider definitions and notions in our head. Among their insights and sentiments: Conscience is a form of guidance that we experience as a self-aligning angelic presence within — an actuality we feel as an impulse that evaluates, regulates, nudges and directs. When we attune to the ‘permanent-line' values of the universe, we sense the universe is a learning system, and learns best through our conscious witnessing experience. We can transcend personal development work to consider soul work for humanity, where we metabolize, disarm and recast the collective memory, a form of ‘world work'. We can engage with the conscience esoterically as a function — a cosmic, planetary process — that brings us to know the elemental building blocks of life. This conversation is part of the continuing Portals discovery into what is emerging on the frontiers of human experience in this time of profound change.

That calling, that memory, that you came into this life with, that you are here to serve in a particular way, is the conscience of that second impulse.” (Aviv) “There is something about this universe, it is a learning system. It wants to continue to learn. Now we may be wired also in the first and the second impulse into learning for different reasons. But when we are attuned to the permanent line values of the universe, one of the dimensions we will exhibit will be that sense of the universe is a learning system. It wants to learn, and it can learn, and it learns best through our conscious witnessing experience.” (Aviv)   RESOURCES MENTIONED   Portals of Perception Website Aviv's LinkedIn  Aviv's Twitter Aviv's Website Conscience – A Threefold Soul Guidance

The US is busy saber rattling all over the globe. On today's show guest host Norm Stockwell checks in with two anti-war activists, Medea Benjamin and Ann Wright, about what they're hearing on the ground in Venezuela and Cuba.  Wright says that activists should be tired right now from the burnout of protesting in the streets and visiting their congressional representative's offices. She says that it's important to travel to places like Cuba and Venezuela to see what the US government is actually perpetuating and how Venezuelans are saying “we hope you can control your own government and how it acts internationally.” She also describes how Venezuelans are responding to the US kidnapping of their head of state and the purposeful bombing of their communications and energy facilities.  They also discuss the situation in Cuba and Benjamin's latest article about US sanctions. Benjamin has covered the US's relationship with Iran and says that you don't have to like the Iranian government to oppose a US invasion. Polls show there's little support for such an action, but Israel continues to push for war with Iran. She describes how everyday people become the victims of US warfare. Note: This pledge drive interview was edited to remove parts of the show dedicated to station fundraising. We thank our listeners for their generous support. Medea Benjamin is a cofounder of both CODEPINK and the international human rights organization Global Exchange. She is the author of 11 books, including Drone Warfare: Killing by Remote Control, Kingdom of the Unjust: Behind the U.S.-Saudi Connection, Inside Iran: The Real History and Politics of the Islamic Republic of Iran and War in Ukraine: Making Sense of a Senseless Conflict, coauthored with Nicolas J.S.

 In this week's episode, Steve and Bully explore a powerful quote by James Baldwin: “People pay for what they do, and still more what they have allowed themselves to become, and they pay for it very simply by the lives they lead.” Using the Teach Different Method, they unpack the claim, counterclaim, and essential questions that this quote inspires. They speak on personal responsibility, the consequences of actions, and the impact of environment and intention. The conversation dives into how our choices shape our lives and legacies, with reflections on civil rights leaders and personal accountability.Episode Chapters:00:00 - Exploring the Legacy of James Baldwin02:35 - Understanding Baldwin's Quote on Accountability07:30 - The Complexity of Actions and Consequences12:44 - The Role of Intention in Our Actions14:21 -  Reflections on Conscience and EmpathyResources: James Baldwin's Works (Notes of a Native Son, Fire Next Time, Go Tell It on a Mountain) - https://www.amazon.com/s?k=James+Baldwin&ref=nb_sb_noss_2 Civil Rights Leaders - Jesse Jackson - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Jackson Teach Different Program at Rivers Casino - https://teachdifferent.org

This Ash Wednesday, Fr. Ken Geraci and John Heinen go straight to the heart of Lent's first command: repent and believe. We're focusing on two concrete actions that we avoid until we're desperate: a real examination of conscience and a clean, simple confession. Not scrupulosity. Not vague generalities. An honest inventory of blind spots, weak spots, compromises, and missed opportunities for virtue.

Dr. Adam Dorsay introduces SuperPsyched and frames the growing misinformation problem, citing low trust in traditional media , the rise of influencer-based news consumption among 18–29 year olds, research that false news spreads faster than truth on Twitter, and the World Economic Forum ranking misinformation/disinformation as the most severe global risk in 2024 and 2025. He interviews Dr. Avi Tuschman (Stanford StartX serial entrepreneur; Stanford doctorate in anthropological science; expert on human political bias) about Cricket (C-R-I-C-K-I-T), an AI tool that provides real-time in-stream fact checks for social media videos, starting with YouTube on desktop. The discussion covers why misinformation spreads (high-arousal content, negativity bias, suggestibility, and attention scarcity), why it affects everyone (including errors/omissions/exaggerations in reputable content), and the relationship between media ecosystems, polarization, and a global democratic recession. Avi raises concerns about TikTok's influence, urging people over 30 to review its “society” content, citing examples of high-production misinformation, alleged foreign influence efforts, elevated WWII revisionism compared with Instagram (UNESCO figure of 5.7x), and medical misinformation (e.g., a study finding ~25% of asthma content has significant misrepresentations and is overrepresented in viewing). He describes Cricket's user experience as subtitle-like overlays with a pause expansion panel summarizing evidence in ~40–50 words, and positions it as a tool to build media literacy and critical thinking—like a flight simulator for evaluating persuasion and uncertainty. Plans include mobile support and additional platforms, potentially later in the year, though TikTok is not supported yet.
